Southern social movements have played an important role in shaping
world history and politics. Nevertheless, scholarly literature on
movements of the global South remains limited and restricted to
testing the social movement theory which was developed in the
North. This Northern-centric approach largely fails to provide a
meaningful understanding of Southern movements because it is not
directly applicable to the differing historical backgrounds,
culture and socio-economic structures found in the South. Much of
the uniqueness and complexity of Southern social movements has
therefore been overlooked. This collection analyses recent events
and developments in Southern social movements, introducing
well-researched case studies from fifteen countries of the global
South. Arranged in two parts, the volume examines firstly movements
which focus on rights and quality of life issues, and secondly the
post-2011 wave of uprisings which started with Tunisian and
Egyptian movements. Contributing to ongoing discussions about the
Northern-centric nature of social movement theory and the social
sciences more generally, the authors enter into dialogue with the
debate on local and national levels, as well as globalizing
processes. Through an interdisciplinary approach this book broadens
the theoretical and empirical perspectives for the study of social
movements and will appeal to sociologists, political scientists,
scholars and students of social movements, and social activists.
